Regular emergence of novel pathogens is one of the greatest threats to global health. DNA and RNA sequencing enable detection of new viruses and microbes, but standard approaches for computational analysis of sequencing data rely on predefined lists of known agents. New pathogens, with genomes highly divergent from available references, remain difficult to recognize. This problem can be alleviated by training classifiers predicting whether a given sequencing read originates from a possibly novel pathogen. I show that deep neural networks invariant to DNA reverse-complementarity markedly outperform alternatives based on other machine learning algorithms and homology detection by sequence alignment. This holds for both bacteria and viruses. ...
